In my earlier post, I failed to say that the warning came during a dead ball where the official was reporting a foul at the table.
Robmoz, I agree with you that we shouldn't stop play to give out warnings to coaches. However, theres nothing NON- PROFFESIONAL about given a warning. I do it all the time. Early in a game I often tell players to get out of the key, watch the hand checking (oops, illegal use of the hands) and so forth. I even go so far as to tell the defender on a inbounds play not to break the plane. These are all acceptable warnings, why not warnings to coaches to keep their mouths shut? If it doesn't work, I can still pull out the T and whack them.
